HUD teaser?
« on: June 17, 2009, 01:17:39 AM »
There are hundreds of beautifully rendered shots of the game as well as great detailed action pictures.

Will there be any teasers of what what the screen will look like when we target an enemy?

Also, will the reticule move like it did in Mech 3? Or will it be stuck like in Mech 2 and 4?

I could be wrong, but I believe it has been said that the reticule will be stuck like MW 2 and 4.

Well they did show us the WIP hud that Ravir was working on a few months ago. It was lookin real good. I was hoping we could get to see some more progress on it in one of these weekly updates.

A couple of guys are currently working out something truely amazing for the HUD, so we'd rather not waste any breath on promoting this until it's finished.
It'll be worth the wait though, very much like the new hangar. Also, yes, should there be time before release, I'll make sure to have a screenshot or two of the new HUD in an update.

HUD's are a tough thing as they change as more and more features are added or changed or even removed. So even if you do get a teaser it'll probobly end up looking slightly different once you're using it.

Well don't think that any of us would scream bloody murder if you did change soemthing, we just like to know what direction your taking, what feel your trying to portray.  If things need to be changed then let it be so, but I do love the updates and progress reports, thanks for not keeping us in the dark ;D

You really think so ??? I'm just going off of those wonderful in battle screen shots and thinking well they must be using some sort of HUD otherwise it wouldn't be very easy for them now would it :-\

I hope they change the hud up a bit from the norm. Mech4's hud was HORRENDOUS and Mech3's was good. Hopefully with any innovations they've done to the series they do the same to the hud.

The HUD is going through major revisions and it's going to be quite the epic awesomesauce when we show it to you.

Will it be an audio-video? Because I want to know if it will say "MAXIMUM AWESOMESAUCE" (Crysis quote).

This makes me very happy *rubs hands together*

You know I do love how devs here talk to us just on a chill level, I'm waiting for another game and when devs talk to us (IF they talk to us) they are all sterile and somewhat annoying, like they have to dictate to a lawyer so they don't get in trouble for anythign they say...so *gives thumbs up to the devs* I dig the awesomesause!
